+The Waldo's Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Have a new 450 and it was showing the cache name on the map screen but now only shows the cache icon. Not sure what changed and I have tried every map and waypoint setting I could think of also I used GSAK to load the gpx file. I like seeing the cache name or GC code on the map. Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment
Motorcycle_Mama Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Which "450"? Nuvi, Oregon, Colorado, Zumo ? Quote Link to comment
+Cache Liberation Front Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Which "450"? Nuvi, Oregon, Colorado, Zumo ? I don't know about the OP, but I have an Oregon 450 and have the same problem. I just can't find the option in my Setup to display all cache names. Quote Link to comment
+The Waldo's Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 Oregon 450 sorry about that. The thing is I download the same P.Q. to my 60cx and the cache name shows up and also the waypoint names. But on the Oregon the parking waypoint icons show with the name but not the cache name on the cache icons. Quote Link to comment

Thanks for any help I've been trying to figure out the same thing on my Oregon 450. It's really a pain not being able to see the cache name. Yet another feature on my old 60CSx that is not on the Oregon? If there's a way to display the names, please let us know. Also, is there a way to increase the icon size? Quote Link to comment
+bcblues Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I don't have an Oregon, but on my 62s, you go to the geocaches page, then menu, then setup geocaches, then under "geocache list, change it to "show names". Given that the Oregon and 62 menus are pretty close, that should get you there. Quote Link to comment
+Grunriese Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Don't know about the 62s, but that menu option on the 450 is for the list of caches, and has nothing to do with what is shown on the map. The map only shows a little green box for caches. No name, no GC code, just the icon. Very frustrating.

I use the EasyGPS (look on the Geocaching.com website under Resources, I believe) and it allows you to specify how you want things to display. It might seem easier just to drag GPX files into a file folder on the Oregon, but I find using this program helps a lot. Karl Quote Link to comment

Karl So I tried downloading the EasyGPS to get the cache names to appear above the caches on my map screen for me 62st. still didn't work....so I tried just dragging them to the GPX file directly....still nothing.....has anyone contacted Garmin about this? Well I'll go drop them a line to support about this whole issue. I as totally agree that I would like to see many cache names above the caches on the map screen without having to scroll over each one of them. I will keep you posted. Quote Link to comment
+Walts Hunting Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I have had an Oregon 300, 400 and now the 450; they have never displayed the name. I wouldn't want it to since it would clutter up the screen. Maybe they don't because if you touch the icon on the screen it shows the information. Quote Link to comment
+kwitsman Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Ah, sorry, I must have misunderstood what you were looking for. None of my Garmins nor my Magellan ever showed the cache name on the screen all the time, just the icon. I have had times when I would click on it and it showed only the GC name, which is what I thought was the issue here. Sorry about that. Karl Quote Link to comment
+AndyT1 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 A bit late but the only time the cache name displays on my GPS screen (Oregon 450) is when I am navigating to a cache - and it is only that cache name that displays, not those surrounding it. Quote Link to comment
+CrystalFairy Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Anyone got a solution to the names not appearing on the 62s for geocaching. Have the same issue.. If I use a "geocache" symbol as a waypoint, then it displays, but anything geocaching based only shows icons.. Quote Link to comment
+Maingray Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 It's always been this way. Quote Link to comment
+kwitsman Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I played with every option in the Map menu section, trying to change the zoom level, level of detail, etc. but never could get geocache names to show. It's odd, since any user-defined waymark that you enter will show by name. Perhaps Garmin fears that it would overwrite every part of the screen in cities? Quote Link to comment
